Graduate Students

The Department currently enrolls approximately 11-18 students in each language area. By admitting only a small number of new students each year, the program offers intensive classroom interaction and extensive individual mentoring, with a focus on preparing to succeed in a demanding academic job market. At the same time, the combined group of approximately 30 students provides a relatively large intellectual community for everyone. About a third of our students enter the Ph.D. program with the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree, about two thirds with a Master's.

This diverse and international student body hails from 13 countries and the U.S.A. They are an extremely accomplished group, with a range of fascinating backgrounds. Their research interests take them to various international locations, including France, Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, and Cuba. Students at all stages of their studies regularly share their research at local and national conferences. In February 2008, the students organized a graduate student conference here titled "Translation and Transitions".

The graduate student office is located in the Merrick Building Room 210-24.
